Neither the truth, nor logic, nor grammar are a defence in Al Britain.

[rmlew]

Oh, dear. Enoch Powell was right ping.
It seems taht you could get arrested for that statement.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

It's a conditional expression of self defense.

"The banner would probably be illegal in the US too since it is a direct incitement of violence ("Kill all muslims..."). If you live in a civilized country, try acting like it instead of sinking to the enemy's level.

Where did you get your edumacation, the NY SLime School of Misinformation?

Methinks you should take a refresher course in "comprehension" or learn how to read.

This poor patriot's sign read: "Kill all Muslims who threaten us and our way of life. Enoch Powell was right."

Like the Lame Stream Media, you "conveniently" left our the preposition "WHO TRHEATEN US AND OUR WAY OF LIFE."

It did not simply state as you INCORECTLY assert: "KILL ALL MUSLIMS!" You, friend, need to "get a life!!!" PS Read my tag.

"Although I agree in principle that incitement of violence is against the law, he was specific in inciting the violence against those who promise violence to us. I would pray that western culture could be inciting to anything prior to our capitulation."

A quote that I found on your home page is appropriate to the topic at hand -- as follows.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

-- Winston Churchill

"Thank God I'm an American.

Now, just to keep that from happening here..."

Yeah, couldn't possibly happen here!

10/16/2006 - The White House

PRESIDENT BUSH:  "Good evening and "Ramadan Karim." Welcome to the White House. Laura and I are really glad you're here. This is the sixth year that we have been pleased to host an Iftaar at the White House. We're honored to be with you and once again we're honored to pay tribute to the month of Ramadan."

"Islam is a religion that brings hope and comfort to more than a billion people around the world. It has transcended racial and ethnic divisions. It has given birth to a rich culture of learning and literature and science. And tonight we honor the traditions of a great faith by hosting the Iftaar here at the White House."

"For Muslims in America and around the world, Ramadan is a special time of prayer and fasting, contemplation of God's greatness, and charity and service to those in need. And for people of all faiths, it is a good time to reflect on the values we hold in common, including love of family, gratitude to God, the importance of community, and a commitment to tolerance and religious freedom."

"America is a land of many faiths, and we welcome and honor the Muslim faith in our nation. Our society is enriched by our Muslim citizens. Your commitment to your faith reminds us all of the precious gift of religious freedom in our country. America is a more hopeful nation because of the talents and generosity and compassion of our Muslim citizens."

FreeRepublic Thread:  President Bush Attends Iftaar Dinner at the White House

Official White House Article:  President Bush Attends Iftaar Dinner at the White House (provided for verification) also:  Ramadan 2006 (2005 2004 2003 2002 also available)

If this hasn't brought on a case of warm fuzzies yet, keep in mind this is the president that is hesitant to mention of Christ or Christians during Christmas and Easter on the official White House web site.  President Bush also remained absolutely silent about the two news journalists, one an American, Steve Centanni, abducted by Muslims in Gaza and forced to convert to Islam on camera or die.  He likewise offered no support to Pope Benedict XVI when the Pope quoted a medieval transcript that mentioned this practice in the wake of the kidnappings and forced conversions.

Then wander over to the recent US Supreme Court decision this month to not hear the case involving the teaching of Muslim prayers and religion in public schools. Keep in mind the Christian religion is not afforded this accommodation in public schools.

[Jeff Head]

The man's banner actiually said to kill all Muslims who threaten them and their way of life. Let's make sure we include the entire statement instead of a more general, blanket statement that simply says "Kill all MUslims" like you posted.

This is war...and it is a war of cultures and civilization with these extreme Islamics. They have defined it that way, and then backed up that definition with their own muderous actions again, and again, and again. If someone threatens my nation and way of life, who wants to either destroy it and kill me (which these extreme Islamic terrorists do) or wants to subjugate me to their religion and law...then that it what it comes down to, killing them until they either beg for unconditional surrender or until they are not around any more to threaten us in this way.

We had to come to that same mentality in World War II against the Nazis and the IMperial Japanese...if this getrs worse, I expect we will come to that mentality again...and make no mistake, it is a ciovilized mentality under those conditions, becuase it preserves civilization against murderous, tyranical enemies who would destroy it.

"If you live in a civilized country, try acting like it..."

Is peaceful protest not civilized?

[Free ThinkerNY]

Maybe they should call it, Not-So-Great Britain.

[R.W.Ratikal]

As long as the Constitution is not amended we all have the right to bear arms. That is all the permit you need if you are a law-abiding American born in this country.

Illegal Aliens, for example, cannot bear arms because not being citizens they have no protection under the U.S.Constitution, no non-citizen does.

[Jeff Head]

Of course you are right...but try openly bearing arms in Illinois...the legislation passed there is draconian (as it is in several of the states, and despite the violation of the constitution, you will be jailed or worse if you disobey them. That's another reason I live in Idaho.

That's why I say to fight all such legislation tooth and nail if you want to be best prepared for islamic terrorists, or other invaders or criminals.

[philetus]

One of his neighbours, a [cowardly] retired Army officer with 23 years service, was pissing his knickers with fear.

[zimdog]

good point

[PghBaldy]

It said more than that... "that threaten" us or our way of life. It seems to be a mild way of saying jihadis and/or Islamists.

[mathluv]

'Now, just to keep that from happening here...'

Vote Republican.

[Jezebelle]

The neighbor is a stone-cold coward, but he's probably right about the sign bringing down the wrath of jihad on them. Then what do they do?

When you live in a country where the people willingly surrendered their guns to the government, I guess you have more concerns about such things since you have no means to defend yourself.

[Razz Barry]

"This could have come to the attention of Islamic extremists, and we could have had a visitation," he said.

Bloody coward.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

presiding magistrate Anne Rees said she and her colleagues felt the words on the banner were likely to cause someone distress

I know they don't have a First Amendment in Britian, but whatever form of free speech they have is meaningless if it only protects speech that doesn't "cause someone distress".

[the scotsman]

No Bill of Rights?.

England has had a Bill of Rights since 1688 and Scotland since 1689...

Get your facts straight.
